Lore sighs but follows as the others continue their investigation. As they progress he will also follow their lead, investigating as they do, asking Kess to help help him in his own investigation.

Investigation: 11

@stormbringer 

entering the door, you find a small room, accompanied only by a ladder and a hatch.
Climbing through the hatch reveals the small, dimly lit turret peak. A dusty oil lantern dangles from the conical roof. A small window provides the highest westward view from the Manor, overlooking the Alley. A dozen finely made silk pillows are tossed haphazardly in the corner - searching underneath them reveals a handful of hidden rough sketches. Cat doesn't notice anything special, however lore is able to notice that most of the drawings are drawings of a cottage, like amateur architecture plans.

(@ereshion you may hire a project manager. hiring him will cost 2 gold coins + silver coins equal to 2* the workers he is going to hire, she can tell it, too.)

Pier follows Cat looking for anything interesting..Its mostly curiosity and he already started imaging his greenhouse full of fruits and vegetables. And why not a birdhouse.."Oh my..I like this place .its quiet and  the way I  see it cause of its position will be perfect for a greenhouse.But cat if you want this for another thing please tell me."

Lore looks around the room, taking in the cushions and webs. "With a little work, this seems quite comfortable. I might prefer such a place -- somewhere further from the taproom -- if noone else objects?"

Irrespective of other's comments, he adds a little later. "I suggest we hire someone to manage the restoration work while we concentrate on the larger picture." He nods again in satisfaction at the room, then looks toward the door, "We should finish investigating what we have so that the scope of works is clear."

"We still haven't checked all the rooms, Lore." She shows him the drawings "What do you think about these? I think everything has value. though the pillow cases are probably worth more." Being a pack rat, Cathern rolls them up and stows them away, after Lore's inspection.

She looks around one more time (11 Perception.)

Then heads over to the private bath and checks it out.

ooc: If I could get some help from Lore another roll on perception 21

Scrrouge has a map on beyond VTT for those who wish to move their tokens. You can join it via the campaign 

“Wait, we haven’t seen this all? I don’t think we can go up any further. What more is there to see?”

(OOC I’ve lost track of things…what is it we’re doing here? Are we in between quests?)

(Do you wish to know your surroundings in your own home Drux? I've x'd the explored parts accept the hallway which was explored)

(We haven't checked the two private baths the Master Bedroom, on the third floor and the one Bedroom on the second floor. I suppose we could do a group check of perception and Investigation to finish exploring. Course if they are any monsters here I'm not sure.)

( for now just exploring the manor. things will start to move once everyone knows the mantion's layout. 

Cathern looks at the private bath, it has a little mold and fungus below the bathtub. the faucet isn't dripping, since the pipe sistem was shut off. there isn't much to see here, except the saggy portions of the floor.

you hear something at the first floor, sounds of chairs being knocked over and glass breaking on the floor. maybe an intruder?

"Did you hear that?are we expecting anyone? And if not then that means we are being followed?Don't get me wrong but this city has eyes and with all our new friends and enemies could be anyone "

Drux immediately bolts towards the first floor, weapons in hand. “Let’s go!”

Cat follows bow and arrow in hand, but more cautiously "Remember Drux, you just came back from the, mostly dead." 

“But I feel great!”

she smirks "I know. Try to keep it that way."

(( Damn, that's bigger than I expected ))

Unsettled by the headlong rush, Kess flits from Drux's shoulder, falling a little behind but remaining wary for any threats. Lore follows.

Piers lifts his shoulders and follows them 

walking towards the taproom, the group finds the place a mess. broken plates and beer barrows lays on the ground, with a few chairs scattered around the room. on the middle, you see a spectral being, a transparent elf-like ghost throwing one more plate on the ground, expretionless. he turns to you, looking at each one, before giving an annoyed look and pointing at the wall- where it's written with dust "it is closing time! get out."

Cats eyes go wide, but she is only startled since she knew he was here. "We're partners now Lif. We're going to make this place a pub again. I'd like for you to help bartend if you want."

She puts her bow away.

"My friend here speaks the truth!We do want to see this place restored back to its old days but for that we need you.Afterall you have been running this place for a long time and you have an idea about our neighbours.I plan to create a small garden dedicated to my god Silvanus if you don't mind"

the specter looks at cat and piers for a second, and raises an eyebrow. he starts floating towards the counter, and stopping behind it. he turns to the group, pointing at some dusty, old wine bottle just at the end of the counter. He writes something on the dust,and after a few seconds he looks up at the group. He seems curious about you, wondering if what you speak is indeed truth. he then disappears by phasing trough the floor. the writing reads "bring me fine wine, a good tavern needs good liquor."
